What is esophogeal atenisia?

Esophageal atresia is a congenital condition in which the esophagus does not form properly, resulting in a gap or discontinuity between the upper and lower portions of the esophagus. This condition can lead to difficulties with feeding and swallowing, as food cannot pass from the throat to the stomach. Esophageal atresia is often diagnosed shortly after birth and may be associated with other congenital anomalies. Surgical intervention is typically required to correct the defect and restore normal function.
